Willow Run Poetry Book Award
Ends on
Hidden River Arts offers a prize of $1000 and publication in Hidden River Press, an imprint of Hidden River Publishing, for an unpublished booklength collection of poetry. The editors will judge. Using the online submission system, submit a poetry manuscript of 75 to 100 pages with a $20 entry fee. Submissions deadline for the 2021-22 cycle will open August 15, 2021 and will deadline February 20, 2022.
Individual poems included in the submission may have been published, as long as all rights have reverted to the poet. Please provide a full list of publications: titles, where published, date of publication, and confirmation of your rights.
Please include an introductory statement about your collection (approximately one paragraph) where you discuss the themes, subject exploration, and the ways in which the poems in this collection coalesce to create a larger, overarching, work.
Manuscripts should include, in this order, the introductory statement, title page, table of contents, and when appropriate, an acknowledgments page. Manuscripts should be paginated and formatted in an easy-to-read font . If your poetry has special formatting, please be sure that you upload the manuscript as a PDF. Please include a brief bio or something about yourself in your cover note on Submittable.
